PONTE RESIDENCES NEW YORK CITY, NY ROLE: PROJECT MANAGER
Ponte Residences (aka 440 Washington Street) is a mixed-use, market rate multifamily building in the historic neighborhood of Tribeca, NYC. The facade design draws from the architectural style of the neighborhood, which was historically industrial, with large arched windows, dark metal accents, brick, and stone. The interior, made up of 41 apartments, a double-height restaurant, a gym, and a shared laundry room, is outfitted with both industrial and modern elements, displaying the client’s vision for the project. Residents also have access to a community room, shared roof terrace, on-site parking, bicycle storage, and a number of private terraces in select units.

COMMUNITY COMFORTS TEA ROOM & BOOKSHOP HYATTSVILLE, MD ROLE: DESIGNER Community Comforts Tea Room & Bookshop is an interior design project that draws inspiration from a principle of the Dada Movement, which states that the value of art doesn’t lay in the work produced, but in the process of collaborating with others to create new visions of the world. Artists in this movement often created pieces with elements that weren’t commonly seen together. The design for this space is intended to bring people from all walks of life together to learn from one another. The space is centered on the bookshop, with various types of seating for collaboration and solo work on either side. Aesthetically, the space contains elements that can be interpreted as contrasting but complementary, such as modern and industrial elements, warm wood and smooth stone, plants and metals, and daylight against darker materials.

WEST CHELSEA LIBRARY NEW YORK CITY, NY ROLE: DESIGNER
West Chelsea New York Public Library is a schematic design project for a unique lot that is bisected by the Highline in the West Chelsea neighborhood of New York City. The library is designed to encourage people to learn from one another through visibility and interaction by putting education on display. The floors - some of which extend toward the Highline at different angles and depths, and others that are dropped as mezzanines for the main stacks - create opportunities for chance encounters between library visitors. The glass facade allows those walking on the street or on the Highline to see learning in action, while the grand staircase and bridge from the Highline provide convenient access points to the library.
